Next OCG meetingThe OCG#51 meeting is planned for 17 September 2013 (Sophia Antipolis).

1.3.3.1   OCG RTTED  

The OCG R&TTE#54 meeting took place before the TC ERM#50 Meeting in the morning of 24 June 2013. For further information, see the minutes of that meeting, document OCGRTTED(13)54_012r1.

ENAPDelegates raised problems concerning some comments received during the approval process of ENs.

Mr. Barck (Nokia Siemens Networks) reported that he has received comments during ENAP, which were marked "technical", but he thought that they were editorial.

Mr. Butscheidt (BMWi) had similar problems with comments received during the approval process.

The problem is who defines what is a "technical" or "editorial" comment.

Mr. Minaev explained that the ETSI Technical Officer does this. A "general" comment has to go through a resolution meeting.

Risk assessmentThe risk assessment liaison statement sent from ADCO R&TTE was considered by TC ERM since the test report is related to ERM -TG DMR and ERM-WG EMC. See agenda item 2.

Next OCG meetingThe OCG R&TTE#55 meeting is planned for 02 December 2013 (Mainz, DE).

  1.4 European Commission Activities  

European Parliament Proposed Amendments 88 to 123 Radio Equipment Directive ERM(13)50_078

Report of ad-hoc group on proposed amendments to the draft Radio Equipment Directive ERM(13)50_089

The TC ERM Chairman briefly presented the European Parliament Proposed Amendments 88 to 123 Radio Equipment Directive (RED) in document ERM(13)50_078. This is additive to the first Ms. Weiler report.

Mr. Palkovich (FED. MINISTRY FOR TRANSPORT, AT) informed that this is an IMCO (the European Parliament Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection) position. Vote at IMCO is planned for 26 Sept. 2013. There is also a discussion in the Council on the RED. The meeting in the Council was planned for 1 July 2013.

Mr. Storrs (PTS, SE) saw that there was a misunderstanding about the EC proposal about pure-receivers. He said that the simplified administrative requirements of the EMC Directive were the motivation for the proposal to change article 3.1b.

Mr. Palkovich found it important to have radio in one Directive and not split.

Mr. de Brito said that there could be annexes in the RED.

See also agenda item 10.1.8.

TC ERM considered the information and after short discussion came to the agreement to send the proposals on the revision of the Radio Equipment Directive to the European Parliament. An ad-hoc group for drafting the proposal was created. The ad-hoc group drafted the proposals during the meeting.

Dr. Sharpe (ETSI) presented the output of ad-hoc group on proposed amendments to the draft Radio Equipment Directive in document ERM(13)50_089.

The proposed principles were as follows:"

a) Transmitters and Receivers should be managed under the same legal instrument.b) All devices that use the radio spectrum should be managed under the same legal instrument,

regardless of purpose. Any exceptions should be explicit, well-defined, justified; and as few as possible (e.g. in an annex).

NOTE: this implies simplified administrative requirements for equipment currently under the EMCD.

c) There should not be unnecessary deviation from global requirements.

These principles achieve simplification and coherence between legal instruments which use Harmonised Standards."

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

  2 Horizontal topics   

See below.

    Harmonised risk assessment 

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

   LS from ADCO R&TTE to TC ERM CEPT/ECC R&TTE CA. ECANB CENELEC on cooperation related Risk Assessment procedures for R&TTE products which do not fulfil the essential requirements

ERM(13)50_041 

LS from ETSI ERM to ADCO R&TTE on cooperation related Risk Assessment procedures for R&TTE products which do not fulfil the essential requirements

ERM(13)50_036

Mr. Palkovich presented the LS from ADCO R&TTE on cooperation related Risk Assessment procedures for R&TTE products which do not fulfil the essential requirements, document ERM(13)50_041. He said that the standardisation organizations are specifying the limits; that is why the market surveillance authorities are coming to ETSI. He explained that the results in the test report are totally fictive.

Mr. van Maanen had doubts whether it would be possible to have a simple formula for the problem. He said that this topic of risk assessment is very complex.

Mr. Donachie agreed that this is very complex, and all the facts need to be examined.

Mr. van Maanen said that many assumptions are made in compatibility studies. In practice, for example, the density of equipment might be higher or lower.

Mr. Palkovich pointed out that in the near future, the risk assessment becomes mandatory for market surveillance authorities. See the information for the New Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package, especially the proposal for a Regulation on market surveillance of products on the Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/single-market-goods/internal-market-for-products/market-surveillance/index_en.htm.

A drafting group was held for producing the response to the LS from ADCO R&TTE, and document ERM(13)50_036 was produced during the meeting.

TC ERM considered the draft response Liaison Statement to ADCO R&TTE on cooperation related Risk Assessment procedures for R&TTE products which do not fulfil the essential requirements, document ERM(13)50_036, and made minor changes, producing document ERM(13)50_036r1 . It was found that further work on it was needed before it could be transmitted, thus the decision was postponed (Decision 50.20).

WGRM 2.2 Radio matters ERM(13)50_004 

Mr. Georges de Brito, Chairman of WG RM, presented the WG RM general information as in document ERM(13)50_004, and TC ERM reviewed it.

Mr. Chadwick resigned as Vice-Chairman of WG RM. TC ERM thanked him for his contribution and for sharing his nearly infinite knowledge with TC ERM.

See also the discussion on radiated measurements under agenda item 8.2.

    Unwanted emissions  

TC ERM noted the information.

  WGRM-1.2 Overview of alignment of ETSI deliverables with CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01  

  WGRM-1.2 () MI/ERM-RM-025 Overview of alignment of ETSI standards with CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01   

TC ERM noted the progress reported in document ERM(13)50_004a1.

This project had covered both:- the verification “of the alignment of ETSI deliverables with CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01” (“preparation of an overview”), and as a result- the coordination of ETSI comments on CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01 in order to forward them to CEPT.

As CEPT has published the new version of its deliverable (Cardiff, 2011), and the “refresh” cycle will take several years, the remaining task therefore is now to establish the alignment, as seen in 2012 and to report to ECC, when problems have been found – as recommended in CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01.

  WGRM-5 (TR 102 137) RTR/ERM-RM-057Use of radio frequency

 ERM(13)50_038

TC ERM noted the progress reported in document ERM(13)50_004a3.

TC ERM considered the draft TR 102 137, document ERM(13)50_038.

Dr. Kermoal sought further information on the relation of the TR 102 137 with EFIS.

Mr. de Brito endorsed that of course the two are related. EFIS is related to the use frequencies in different CEPT countries, TR 102 137 on the use of frequencies in different ETSI deliverables.

Dr. Mahler said that inconsistencies in the data between the ETSI and ECC should be avoided.

It was recalled that the coordination of TR 102 137 and EFIS has been the topic of the ECC-ETSI Officials meeting for several years, and cooperation has been set up but first the ETSI data set needs to be completed.

TC ERM considered that the groups in ETSI should provide their updates to the Excel sheet of the draft TR 102 137 WG RM asap. The version number of the deliverable had to be specified properly to be able to associate the information to the work items in the ETSI Work Programme. TC-AERO JTFEA, TG30, TG11, TC BRAN, TG DMR updated the document ERM(13)50_038 during the meeting and the revised documents were provided: ERM(13)50_038r1 (revision by TC-AERO JTFEA), ERM(13)50_038r2 (TG30), ERM(13)50_038r3 (TG11, TC BRAN), ERM(13)50_038r4 (TGDMR). Post-meeting note: The revision of TG28, document ERM(13)50_038r5, was provided after the meeting.

page 19 of 56

Dr. Ehrhardt proposed to have a workshop as given document ERM(13)50_007a1. He said that the workshop is open to all. Fraport got a new runway recently, so they had to have sensors at new positions. The European implementation plan is managed by Eurocontrol.

TC ERM recommended drafting an invitation to the workshop; this was done during the meeting. Mr. Förester (Fraport AG) joined the meeting by GoToMeeting tools and presented the announcement to the workshop EN 303 213-5 (A-SMGCS), document ERM(13)50_082. The Workshop will be in Frankfurt Airport on 12.09.2013. TC ERM noted the information. A related action point was created to further distribute this announcement (Action point 50.12).

The outcome of this Workshop will be presented to TC ERM by the end of 2013 (December meeting).

TC ERM noted that the action point 48.05 "To invite Notified Bodies through the report of ETSI to R&TTE CA to attend JTFEA and participate in particular in the work on EN 303 213-5-1 and -2." is still topical.

EN 303 213-6-1The draft of EN 303 213-6-1 was revised due to changes in reference documents Rec. ITU-R SM.1541, ECC/REC/(02)05 and ERC/REC74-01; essentially changes of out-of-band emission mask (slope of 30 dB in lieu of 20 dB per decade)) and presented to TC ERM for approval in document ERM(13)50_045.

Dr. Butsch presented and highlighted the technical changes. The slope of the emission mask has been changed and other changes are consequential.

Mr. Minaev pointed out that there are may be some problems with the references in this document since all references are informative and none normative. These were checked during the meeting.

Mr. Palkovich questioned what the units were in Table 1 of the frequency offset relative to B. The reply was that these are unitless and use the same methodology as in ERC 74-01.

Mr. Kermoal said that CEPT/ECC-SE21 had examined the standard and concluded that it is in line with the more stringent mask of ERC Rec. 74-01

TC ERM considered the draft EN 303 213-6-1 document ERM(13)50_045, made minor changes, and approved document ERM(13)50_045a1 for ENAP (Decision 50.21). Note that document ERM(13)50_045 had been accepted on the NGPP system, but when the references in it were checked, other errors were found, thus document ERM(13)50_045a1 should be sent to ENAP instead of document ERM(13)50_045.

TG26 4 Amateur radio ERM(13)50_008  

Document ERM(12)50_008 focussed on maritime issues and not on amateur radio, since there are no change requests and no NWI for the standard for amateur radio equipment (EN 301 783). It is expected to not be revised for a few years.

TG17 5 Broadcasting ERM(13)50_006 

Mr. Brian Copsey, Chairman of ERM-TG17, joined via GoToMeeting and presented the general report of TG17 in document ERM(13)50_006, and TC ERM reviewed it.

  EMC(TR) DTR/ERM-EMC-319Report of the CENELEC/ETSI Joint Working Group on the digital dividend 2

ERM(13)50_048r2adopt

Mr. Ronald Storrs presented the WG EMC report in document ERM(13)50_003r1 and informed the meeting that CENELEC Technical Committee TC 210 decided to reactivate the JWG DD with a new Terms of Reference, in response to the letter from the Commission requesting standardisation activities to respond to the next phase of the digital dividend, document OCGRTTED(13)53_003.

TC ERM was requested to review the Terms of Reference of JWG DD in document ERM(13)50_049 and to modify it accordingly if needed. The intention of the JWG is to use the ETSI electronic facilities to develop its deliverables.

The 700 MHz band would seem to be a mix of LTE, DVB-T and white spaces. This is very complex, and there is a great deal of uncertainty.

Mr. Vangeel suggested to add "anticipated non-broadcast radio".

TC ERM noted that the JWG DD will appear on the TC ERM portal page similarly to other ERM TGs. It is not a group under WG EMC. CENELEC called the group TC 210 WG10.

TC ERM considered the ToRs of JWG DD in document ERM(13)50_049, modified it, and approved the resulting document ERM(13)50_049r1 (Decision 50.23).

Dr. Sharpe explained the cooperation modes possible with CENELEC (GA(13)61_011 or http://docbox.etsi.org/Partners/Agreements/CEN_CLC_ETSI_Basic_Cooperation_Agreement_2013.pdf ).

TC ERM requested the ETSI Secretariat:- to set up mode 5 cooperation with CENELEC for JWG DD (Action point 50.09);- to provide information to TC ERM on how to participate in JWG DD (Action point 50.10);

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

page 21 of 56

- to start a remote consensus decision for appointment of the JWG DD Chairman (Action point 50.11).

TC ERM considered the NWI (TR) Report of the CENELEC/ETSI Joint Working Group on the Digital Dividend 2 in document ERM(13)50_048r2. The planned report is intended to help in the revision or development of standards by describing the actual operational conditions stemming from the expected changed frequency use in the bands 174-230 MHz and 470-862 MHz.

TC ERM adopted the NWI in document ERM(13)50_048r2, noting that the Sub Group will be changed to JWG DD. (Decision 50.24).

  6 Fixed Service   

TC ERM considered the need for checking that the Fixed Service deliverables in document ERM(13)50_058 are included in the ERM agenda (Action point 50.13). See for information the agenda item 1.6.1.

Dr. Khun-Jush, Chairman JTFER, joined via GoToMeeting and presented the general report of ERM/RRS-JTFER in document ERM(13)50_009a1, and TC ERM reviewed it.

JTFER sent a Liaison Statement to BRAN on work on Harmonised Standards on White Space Devices, document ERM(13)50_043. In the LS, it is asked what mandate number EN 301 598 falls under.

JTFER is planning to prepare a Harmonised Standard on WSD and notes that it is not permitted to have overlapping scopes for ENs, regardless of the mandate number. Coordination with TC BRAN is needed to ensure that there is no overlap in scope. A list of ETSI deliverables which will be used as a basis for the JTFER work is given.

A response LS to document ERM(13)50_043 from BRAN to ERM/RRS-JTFER on work on Harmonised Standards on White Space Devices is in document ERM(13)50_044:

- TC BRAN decided that EN 301 598 addresses both mandates M/284 and M/512. - The scope of EN 301 598 is TV white space (TVWS) devices which are operating in the

frequency range 470 MHz to 790 MHz, under the control of a white space database. BRAN says that this clear scope will allow JTFER to appropriately define the scope of their Harmonised Standards to avoid any potential overlap with EN 301 598.

- EN 301 598 was approved for ENAP by BRAN#75.This response LS was received after the JTFER#1 meeting and still needs to be considered by JTFER.

Dr. Khun-Jush said that the response from BRAN may cause some discussion in JTFER.

Mr. Butscheidt asked whether the BRAN answer (one EN under 2 mandates) would be applied to all Harmonised Standards about RRS.

The TC ERM Chairman reported that in general specific Harmonised Standards have only been associated with the specific mandate, e.g. some TG SRR standards related to M/363, see also http://www.etsi.org/about/our-role-in-europe/public-policy/ec-mandates .

Dr. Khun-Jush requested that this item be put on the OCG R&TTE agenda. It has been confirmed by the ETSI Secretariat that it is possible to have an EN under two mandates if it fulfils the scope of both these mandates.

TC ERM noted the LS from ETSI TC RT to CEPT/ECC-WG FM on Results of the Public Consultation of the Draft Amended ECC/DEC/(02)05 on “The designation and availability of frequency bands for railway purposes in the 876 - 880 MHz and 921 - 925 MHz bands” in document ERM(13)49b003. This had not been sent to CEPT/ECC-WG FM. Mr. Minaev explained that this document was based on an ECC Decision which had changed since the LS was written.

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

page 24 of 56

Mr. Minaev presented the proposed response LS from TC RT to CEPT/ECC-WG FM on ECC/DEC/(02)05 in document ERM(13)50_083 and said that the LS has not been submitted to WG FM; TC ERM considered the information.

Mr. Kermoal informed the meeting that ECC/DEC/(02)05 has already been published.

TC ERM considered that TC RT has concerns on the published ECC/DEC/(02)05 and an input document from Deutsche Bahn had also been sent to ECC on the same issue.

The drafting group prepared an LS on the concerns highlighted in document ERM(13)50_083; TC ERM considered the draft LS to CEPT/ECC-WG FM on concerns on ECC DEC (02)05 on railway in the 876-880 MHz and 921-925 MHz bands in document ERM(13)50_087 and approved it for transmission noting that the LS in document ERM(13)50_083 was included in it (Decision 50.26). The LS was sent on 27 June 2013.

TFES, EMC, DECT 7.3 IMT ERM(13)50_017 

Mr. Esa Barck, Chairman of ERM/MSG-TFES, presented the TFES general information as in the document ERM(13)50_017, and TC ERM reviewed it.

TFES Delegation of the approval rights from TC ERM to TFES for the seventh Release of EN 301 908 ERM(13)50_060a1

TC ERM considered the request from ERM/MSG-TFES to ERM#50 to delegate its approval rights to TFES regarding the seventh Release of EN 301 908 document ERM(13)50_060a1.

Mr. Storrs, Mr. Butscheidt and Mr. Arzelier supported the proposal. A permanent delegation or dissolution of ERM/MSG-TFES was found to be a different case.

TC ERM delegated authority to TFES for approval rights of the seventh Release of standards EN 301 908 as proposed in the document ERM(13)50_060a1, with the understanding that ERM/MSG-TFES would continue reporting on its activities to TC ERM (Decision 50.28).

Additional information on EC letter on 800 MHz Decision ERM(13)50_040

The document ERM(13)50_040 was sent from the European Commission in response to ERM action point 49.16 “To ask the EC for further clarification on the meaning of 'idle mode' in the EC letter on 800 MHz” tasked to OCG R&TTE in cooperation with ERM/MSG-TFES.

Points a1 and a2 of the EC letterMr. Guerin (ANFR) presented the presentation in document ERM(13)50_040, “Performance of DTT receivers in the presence of interference from LTE signals in the 800 MHz band” TC ERM considered the information and noted that it was related to points a1 and a2 of the EC letter on the 800 MHz Decision, document OCGRTTED(13)53_003.

Mr. Storrs said that further information on the TV sets plus information on the method of measurements used in document ERM(13)50_040 is needed. He thought that TV sets had much improved much since 2-3 years ago. He considered the problems with TV sets to be solved. He suggested on making the measurements on equipment put on the market in 2013.

Mr. Barck said that proper documentation of the measurement methods used is needed.

Dr. Kuhn-Jush agreed with Mr. Barck.

Mr. Van Maanen did not expect that the selectivity of TV receivers would change in the future. He thought that the measurement results in document ERM(13)50_040 could be used.

Mr. Guerin explained that the ITU Rec. is based on many TV receivers. He explained that the pulse from the LTE equipment can cause problems with the TV receivers.

It was noted that on slide 4 of the presentation in document ERM(13)50_040 , it seems that there is not much difference between the curves of Rx1, Rx2 with traffic load LTE = 0% or LTE = 100%.

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

page 26 of 56

However for Rx3 there is large difference. Mr. de Brito said that this may be a result of different implementations, and automatic gain control (AGC) may not be standardized yet.

Mr. Guerin confirmed that it would be useful to develop a standard for AGC for the TV receiver.

Mr. Mueller said that the information in document ERM(13)50_040 was old. Mr. Barck agreed with him.

Mr. Guerin said that Rec. ITU-R BT.2033 is from January 2013 and the other one Rec. ITU-R BT.1368 is three years old.

Mr. de Brito asked whether amplifiers were taken into account in the CEPT/ECC work.

Mr. Van Maanen said that the measurements show that there is a problem, and it should not be ignored.

Ms. Lunestad referred to practical solutions in different countries. Installing filters on TV sets is one of them. Some have put all the costs on the mobile operators.

Mr. Mueller said that TV manufacturers are also making efforts to improve their equipment.

Ms. Papiewska said that that letter is based on the conclusion of the EC workshop on the 18 Oct. 2012. The EC has no further information, thus it will need to be sought from the presenters to the workshop.

Mr. Tosato provided information on the Italian situation for LTE and TV co-existence. He said that it costs ~1000 euros per household to improve the TV reception.

Points a3 and b of the EC letterIn connection with points a3 and b of the EC letter in document OCGRTTED(13)53_003, Mr. Tosato informed that ECC-SE24 (WI42 – Part 2) has nearly completed its work item related to SRD and LTE coexistence. Both parties need to contribute to resolving the problem. The category 3 type receivers for SRDs are problematic. Enforcing category 1 receivers would not be possible.

Mr. Khun-Jush asked whether all parties are aware of this work in ECC-SE24.

Mr. Barck said that a number of mobile manufacturers are participating in ECC-SE24.

Mr. Van Maanen added that the ECC-SE24 (WI42 – Part 2) is not the answer to everything.

Mr. Tosato expected that the Sept. 2013 meeting of WG SE would forward material to ETSI and to WG FM.

Response to questions on EC letterAs a result of the discussion, it was concluded that the responses to the questions in the cover sheet of document ERM(13)50_040 were:

- LTE equipment refers to UE (due to problems with SRDs; there is a large frequency separation with the TVs) or BS;

- idle mode means LTE traffic load is 0%;- more information is needed, but for SRDs there is already sufficient information which is

summarized in the ongoing ECC Report.

Mr. Pete Hizzey, Chairman of ERM-TG26, joined via GoToMeeting and presented the general report of TG26 in document ERM(13)50_008, and TC ERM reviewed it.

TC ERM considered that the action point 38.34 for the ETSI Secretariat “To make the Commission aware that it would be preferable that the Commission publish the CENELEC standard related to the total navigation functionality as the Harmonized Standard.” is not completed. The information was told to DG Enterprise in March 2010; despite that, there is no answer from the European Commission on this proposal.

The European Commission was asked to reply to the request that the Commission publish the CENELEC standard related to the total navigation functionality as the Harmonized Standard (Action point 50.14).

  TG26-4 LS from TG26 ETSI TC ERM on normative annexes for radiated measurements ERM(13)50_072 

TC ERM noted the progress report of the project, document ERM(13)50_008.

Mr. Hizzey presented the LS from TG26 to ETSI TC ERM on normative annexes for radiated measurements document ERM(13)50_072. During the resolution meeting for EN 300 373-1 (AP 20130509), TG26 received comments related to the normative annex for radiated measurements. Given that this normative annex (in some form) is used in many ETSI standards from many technical groups (TG26, TGDMR, TG28, TG11 et al) it is probably best if this issue was addressed by a specific group so that a common solution is incorporated into all standards.

TC ERM considered the information and requested WG RM to consider the issues raised in document ERM(13)50_072 and report back to TC ERM (Action point 50.07).

TC ERM considered the resolution meeting report for EN 300 373-1 in document ERM(13)50_068 for approval and approved it with minor changes as in document ERM(13)50_068r1 (Decision 50.38), noting that DE comments of a horizontal nature (applied for all WGs/TGs) will be considered by ERM WG RM.

TC ERM approved draft EN 300 373-1 in document ERM(13)50_067 for vote (Decision 50.37), noting, that the transposition dates should be changed to 3, 6, 6 months.

TC ERM approved the EN 301 033 Resolution meeting report in document ERM(13)50_066 (Decision 50.40). TC ERM approved the draft EN 301 033 in document ERM(13)50_065 for vote, noting that information may need to be added to the Foreword to indicate that this may be referenced under the Marine Equipment Directive (Decision 50.39.)

TC ERM approved the draft EN 303 098-2 in document ERM(13)50_073 for ENAP noting that the Table of Contents needs to be corrected (Decision 50.41).

TC ERM considered the stopping of work items EN 300 338-1 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-1), EN 300 338-2 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-2), EN 300 338-3 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-3) and EN 300 338-4 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-4). TC ERM noted that the work items are connected with the ongoing work in the ITU-R WP5B (maritime), see the report of the Working Party in document ERM(13)50_031 (see information in agenda item 1.5.5). TG26 was requested to study the ITU-R WP5B results and then advise TC ERM whether or not to stop the work items.

TC ERM postponed the consideration of stopping the work items:- EN 300 338-1 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-1) (Decision 50.33);- EN 300 338-2 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-2) (Decision 50.34);- EN 300 338-3 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-3) (Decision 50.35);- EN 300 338-4 (REN/ERM-TG26-087-4) (Decision 50.36).

Mr. Hizzey noted that TG26 would like ITU-R WP5B to clarify the start position for transmission of AIS packets unambiguously and the appropriate LS at the end of document ERM(13)50_008 has been already sent. See the information in agenda item 1.5.5.

Dr. Sharpe provided information about AIS SART discussion from TCAM meeting document ERM(13)50_024 (see the agenda item 1.4.2).

Mr. Donachie asked for clarification. He noted that there is an appropriate EC Decision (see ERC/DEC/(99)17).

Mr. Hizzey clarified that this Decision is for non-Solas marine communication equipment. The words "communication equipment" cause problems. Some people consider the man overboard is "signalling equipment" beacon equipment and not "communication equipment".

Mr. Donachie said that this was not clear from the EC document to TCAM.

TCAM have discussed a new draft Decision associated with Directive 1999/5/EC article 3.3e, to specifically mention this type of equipment, but the Commission decided that an impact assessment will be needed, and it takes time.

TG28 10.1 Generic Short Range Devices ERM(13)50_010 

Mr. Enrico Tosato, Chairman of ERM TG28, presented the TG28 general information in document ERM(13)50_010, and TC ERM reviewed it. The text in grey in the report is the focus for ERM#50.

When action points were reviewed, a question related to the action point 49.22 "To consider the LS from WG SE in document ERM(12)48b037 and provide an answer to WG RM. See document ERM(13)49_082 for an example of what sort of response is needed for WG SE" was raised. The information on the EN 300 224 (2001-01) was not sent to the WG RM.

Mr. Tosato thought that EN 300 224 (2001-01) was a historical standard. For many years, no one has participated in TG28 on this standard.

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

Mr. de Brito explained that ERC/Rec 74-01 had been recently updated.

The TC ERM Chairman explained that there were two different actions: action point 49.22 is related to the LS from WG SE in document ERM(12)48b037 whereas the "update" is related to ERC/Rec 74-01 update. A new action point was created for sending information on EN 300 224 (Action point 50.15).

  TG28 OBE transmitter mask ERM(13)50_075 

Mr. Soderi (GE Transportation) joined meeting by G2M tools and presented document ERM(13)50_075. GE Transportation used ETSI EN 302 608 v1.1.1 ”Radio equipment for Eurobalise railway system” and presented their foundations on the measurement setup for on-board equipment R&TTE Directive certification. They found a problem on the definition of the mask. Mr. Soderi explained that there are problems with the measurement method in EN 302 608. He showed test results on slide 4 of the presentation in document ERM(13)50_075.

Mr. van Maanen said that the measurement bandwidth in EN 302 608 has been chosen since it is the typical bandwidth of the victim service. He said that 10 kHz is the correct measurement bandwidth.

Mr. Soderi reported that two external laboratories in Italy have verified the setup. He mentioned Rina in Genoa. He said that GE Transportation and Rina did not know why the mask had changed. It used to be as in the EN 300 330.

Mr. van Maanen still did not agree. He said that he did not agree with 1 kHz bandwidth.

The supporting organisations of the standard EN 302 608 may also know more about the mask: UIC, Dudde-Hochfrequenztechnik.

Dr. Mahler suggested to contact Deutsche Bahn for further information.

Mr. Tosato thought that Dudde-Hochfrequenztechnik would know the answer.

Mr. de Brito asked how the slope between +/- 200 kHz to +/- 500 kHz is checked. Mr. Soderi said that the same method is used.

TC ERM requested ETSI Secretariat to send document ERM(13)50_075 to the supporting organisations (especially Dudde Hochfrequenztechnik, Deutsche Bahn) of the published version of EN 302 608 v1.1.1 and ask for comments (Action point 51.16). It was also noted that a Notified Body could be used if the Harmonized Standard was not followed, as described in the R&TTE Directive.

TC ERM reviewed the progress of the project as reported in document ERM(13)50_010a1r1.

TC ERM considered the NWIs for EN 300 220-1 document ERM(13)50_056 and EN 300 220-2 document ERM(13)50_057.

Two main goals were foreseen:- maintenance of EN 300 220-1 v.2.4.1 to amend flaws found and in general, to enhance the quality. - to update the standard taking into account the ongoing ECC Report 200, ECC Report 189 and the (WGSE WI42) ECC Report.

A possible reorganisation of wireless alarms would be considered, depending on the ongoing new EN 303 131 outcomes.

If it is found that restructuring of EN 300 220 has benefits over its current structure, then a multi-part standard may be an outcome of this WI.

Mr. van Maanen informed that Ministry of Economic Affairs NL has proposed in TG28 to make EN 300 220 a multi-part standard with a common part and specific parts. He suggested that this work be started. He suggested that the alarm standard be a part of the EN 300 220 multi-part.

Mr. Storrs and Mr. Petterson supported the multi-part idea of Mr. van Maanen.

Mr. Tosato explained that this had been included in the remarks of the WI.

Dr. Mahler asked whether other standards would become part of the EN 300 220 multi-part.

Mr. van Maanen also suggested that since the receivers had been removed from EN 301 489-3, including this information should be considered in the revision of EN 300 220.

Mr. Taylor said that the discussion in TG28 was very lively, and he thought that the remarks were a good reflection of the discussion. Ongoing work should not be delayed.

Ms. Lunestad supported the multi-part standard idea. She did not see a problem with ETSI using "applications" in its standards.

Mr. Storrs agreed with Ms. Lunestad and added that the application/technology neutrality stem from the Framework Directive but do not apply to the standards.

Mr. Palkovich said that the standard is not such a generic standard. He said that the relation of radio interface information with EN 300 220 should be considered in the revision. He also noted that the title goes up to 500 mW, but he would like it to not have an upper limit.

Mr. Tosato said that there are no indications for exceeding 500 mW in this frequency range.

Mr. Palkovich wanted to remove "500 mW" from the title.

No one else had this concern. Mr. Palkovich was invited to provide further documentation to TC ERM about his proposal.

Mr. Butscheidt agreed with Mr. van Maanen. Both were not sure if a Harmonised Standard was needed for this if it was so technologically specific.

Mr. Tosato said that the use of these SRDs is very different from generic SRDs.

TC ERM noted that TG UWB had gone through the exercise of having multiple standards and then preparing a multi-part standard. It was agreed to put a remark in the Work Item for EN 300 220.

Mr. van Maanen found that TC ERM should decide to create a multi-part EN 300 220.

Dr. Mahler said that it is not yet clear what the different parts would cover.

Mr. Taylor said that the intention is that during the reporting of TG28 to TC ERM, the progress on this consideration of this remark will be included.

TC ERM noted that this standard will be created with the possible integration in a multipart EN 300 220.

The NWI proposals were revised during the meeting, and TC ERM approved the NWIs for ENs for radio equipment to be used in the 870 MHz to 876 MHz frequency range with power levels ranging up to 500 mW for Part 1 in document ERM(13)50_051r1 and for Part 2 in document ERM(13)50_052r1 (Decision 50.47; Decision 50.48).

TC ERM reviewed the progress of the project as reported in document ERM(13)50_010a6.

TC ERM considered the draft TR 103 059 in document ERM(13)50_053 and approved it for internal enquiry, noting that if during the internal enquiry no technical comments will be received then the document will be considered as approved for publication (Decision 50.49).

ETSI Secretariat was requested to start the ETSI internal enquiry on document ERM(13)50_053 (Action point 50.17).

Post-meeting note: The internal enquiry was started on 2013-08-24 as ERM(13)DEC113.

TC ERM considered the Liaison Statement to CEPT/ECC-WG SE/SE24 on revised TR 103 059, document ERM(13)50_054, and approved the revised LS with minor changes document ERM(13)50_054r1 for transmission (Decision 50.50).

Dr. Mahler presented LS from ERM TG28 on concerns of wireless chargers to 13.56 MHz, document ERM(13)50_055. The LS was prepared with the intention to later take action in relation to CEPT and CISPR. He reported that ITU-R WP1A had considerations on the WPT. He said that they have started a group on this and will prepare an ITU-R deliverable. It uses the same cases as in the output of the ERM Wireless Chargers group.

TC ERM noted the outcome of ITU-R WP1A on WPT in document ERM(13)50_055a1; see also for information the agenda item 1.5.2.

Dr. Mahler said that the technical motivation for the change in the proposed Radio Equipment Directive (RED) to the definition of the radio equipment is technically nonsense. He said that there are discussions in ITU-R WP5A about power transfer in 2.4 GHz. See also agenda item 1.5.3.

TC ERM noted that the LS will be used as a basis for LS to WG SE. The next WG SE meeting is on 16-20 September 2013. The work will need to be coordinated with other TBs (Action point 50.18).

Mr. Palkovich mentioned that the proposed RED is not yet finalized. He said that it will not be in force until 2016.

TG30 10.3 Medical devices ERM(13)50_011 

The ERM-TG30 Chairman, Mr. Peter Chadwick, presented the TG30 report in document ERM(13)50_011, and TC ERM reviewed it.

Dr. Mezzour introduced the problems using electronical medical devices in aircraft: “The matter of wireless medical devices used in aircraft was raised, especially the aviation safety requirements to turn off electronic devices during take-off and landing. This has led to questions being raised by manufacturers and patients. As far as hearing aids and other medical devices are concerned, there is a health and/or safety issue if the device is turned off. Other devices with integrated radio transmitters include (but are not limited to) diabetes insulin pumps/sensors, external cardiac stimulators, neurological stimulators, etc.

A draft Liaison Statement is to be presented by TG30 for TC_ERM to send to EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) EuroCAE, ETSI EP eHealth, ETSI TG17-WG3, ETSI TC Safety, ETSI Human Factors, ETSI Smart BAN and ETSI D2AGC, requesting guidance.”

Dr. Mezzour proposed that the LS sould be prepared by the different TGs of TC ERM and approved by correspondence. It was suggested to have joint meeting with representatives from TG17-WG3, TC Safety, D2AGC, EP eHealth, Smart BAN and M2M. TG30 would issue an invitation to the possibly interested groups within ETSI.

Dr. Ehrhardt said that JTFEA has not considered this issue since it is not involved in airborne equipment.

Ms. Wood said that the boundaries between the groups would be discussed in EP eHealth.

Dr. Mezzour referred to the preparation of coexistence of 2.4 GHz medical systems.

TC ERM requested ERM-TG30 and EP eHealth prepare a draft Liaison Statement in cooperation with EP eHealth to be sent to EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) EuroCAE, ETSI TG17-WG3, ETSI TC Safety, ETSI Human Factors, ETSI Smart BAN and ETSI D2AGC on wireless medical devices in aircraft (Action point 50.19).

  TG30 Appointment/re-appointment of the TG30 Chairman  (re-)appoint

Mr. Chadwick was going to retire, and ERM#50 was his last meeting in ETSI. He had contributed duing 20 years in ETSI. ETSI and TC ERM thanked him cordially for his great work and great humour and wished him a happy retirement.

Dr. Saad Mezzour (MEDTRONIC BAKKEN RESEARCH CENTER B.V., NL) was appointed as the TG30 Chairman for a period of two years (Decision 50.53).

The LS from ETSI EP E2NA on telemedicine solutions document ERM(13)50_042 is a reply to the LS from TC ERM in document ERM(12)48_084r1. EP E2NA requests clarification on whether there is interest and a need for a contribution on the technology that would support the communications between the home network resident Medical Station (Smart Desk Clinic device in the received presentation) and the Call Centre Doctor client. That part of the service would be within EP E2NA focus and the group is ready to collaborate. TC ERM considered the information, and EP eHEALTH and TG30 were asked to prepare a response LS to it (Action point 50.20).

Document ERM(13)50_088, “ACT programme presentation”, was also considered during the EP eHEALTH/TG30 meeting and presented there by Mr. van Bokhorst. This programme is looking for regional partners.

TG34 10.4 UHF RFID ERM(13)50_012

10.4.1 TG34-3 Privacy and security for RFID ERM(13)50_012a1 

TC ERM reviewed the report on developments over the last period in document ERM(13)50_012a1.

TC ERM noted that the EC Mandate M/436 covers issues of privacy and security relating to applications that use RFID. This is related to all frequencies for RFID, not just those for TG34 standards. It has been agreed with TG28 that TG34 Chairman is the representative for this work.

During the last period, two draft standards have been released for Public Consultation covering firstly Signage and secondly Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).

The draft on Signage follows very much along the lines that had been anticipated. However, due to some timing issues, the TS, which is written at much the same time, has risen on some new points that may have to be taken into account at the Resolution Meeting. The Rapporteur has given assurances that the changes to the draft standard arising from the TS are insufficient to justify a second Public Consultation. At present it is anticipated that the draft standard will be agreed in the autumn this year and published early in 2014.

Mr. Palkovich asked about the applicability of article 3.3 of the R&TTE Directive. There had been no such Decision taken under the R&TTE Directive.

ETSI ERM ERM(13)50_091r1ERM(11)06xx

page 47 of 56

Mr. Falck clarified that this output of CEN 225 is not related to the R&TTE Directive, but it will be a voluntary EN under mandate M/436.

Mr. Parrish said that the standard is unclear; it is like a document. He asked for more clarity.

Mr. Palkovich was concerned about market surveillance aspects of this standard. He would like to know the status of the standard to be produced. Ms. Papiewska (European Commission) asked Mr. Palkovich to send a question to her for further clarification.

Mr. Donachie said that TCAM discussed this in 2010 and concluded that an article 3.3 Decision should be avoided.

Dr. Sharpe asked whether members wanted an EC Decision on article 3.3e for this equipment.

Mr. Palkovich had no view on whether or not an EC Decision on article 3.3 was needed. He wanted to know whether market surveillance authorities for the R&TTE Directive need to enforce this standard.

Mr. Falck provided background on why mandate M/436 was launched. It was due to the concerns of the privacy advocates.

The Chairman of ERM TG34 together with another representative from TG34 supervised the RFID Plugtest at CPqD in Campinas in Brazil during the period 20 – 24 May 2013. The tests were carried out jointly with their RFID experts. The Plugtest was based on a test plan that had been agreed with CPqD during a previous visit in March 2013.

The tests for interference from RFID to GSM using the 4 channel plan at the frequencies proposed in the new European band 915 – 921 MHz showed no indication of interference.

Mr. Barck promised to take the document ERM(13)50_012a3 into the next TC MSG meeting.

Mr. Josef Schuermann, Chairman of ERM TGSRR could not participate and sent his apologies. Dr. Michel Mahler presented the report in document ERM(13)50_015r1.

  Note to G. Owen & M. Sharpe on EC SRD Decision 5th Update ERM(13)50_076 

TC ERM considered the relevant section in document ERM(13)50_015r1.

The Note to G. Owen & M. Sharpe on EC SRD Decision 5th Update in document ERM(13)50_076 was discussed. TG SRR was concerned that "radio communication systems" could be interpreted as excluding "radar systems". TGSRR suggested to remove the word “communications” and include the word “Radar” so that the definition of "TTT" would instead read:

“[13] The transport and traffic telematics category covers radio systems that are applied in the fields of transport (road, rail, water or air, depending on the relevant technical restrictions), traffic management, navigation, mobility management and in intelligent transport systems (ITS). Typical applications are used for interfaces between different modes of transport, communication in between vehicles (e.g. car-to-car), between vehicles and fixed locations (e.g. car-to-infrastructure) as well as communication from and to users and radar.”

Dr. Sharpe proposed wording “communication including radar”

It was asked whether the other groups (e.g. TG37) were in agreement with this proposal. Dr. Mahler checked with the TG37 Chairman, who agreed with the Note.

ERM#50 created an action point. Dr. Sharpe will put this comment on the definition of TTT in his report to the RSCom and will present it to the ETSI preparatory call for RSCom (Action point 50.02). (See the agenda item 1.4.4).

Dr. Sharpe asked for clarification in order to be prepared for his RSCom reporting.

The response was not very clear. The standard is in early draft, so there is enough time to clarify the intention in the scope of the standard.

TC ERM reviewed the progress on the project as reported in document ERM(13)50_015r1.Dr. Michel Mahler explained that for draft EN 302 858-1, a change was proposed in document ERM(13)50_015r1, but then he received another proposal which uses peak/mean depending on whether above or below 1 GHz.

After some consideration, the draft EN 302 858-1 in document ERM(13)000023 was prepared. The detector type was modified as well as e.r.p. was used instead of e.i.r.p.

Mr. Kermoal asked whether there is a definition of mean detector type for detection above 1 GHz. Mr. Schuermann joined via G2M and said that the same one is used as ERC Rec. 74-01. A clear definition was not in CEPT/ERC Rec. 74-01.

Mr. van Maanen did not support the use of quasi-peak in the standard. Ms. Lunestad said that the email of Mr. Schuermann was to change peak to mean, not from peak to quasi-peak.

Dr. Mahler said that the change from peak to quasi-peak was from Dudde to be in line with CISPR.

Mr. Barck asked whether the limit would change if the detector would change.

A drafting group was convened, and some further revisions were made. TC ERM approved the draft EN 302 858-1 for ENAP as in document ERM(13)000023r1 (Decision 50.59).

TC ERM considered the draft LS to CEPT/ECC-SRDMG on on fixed link applications in the band 24.05 - 24.25 GHz in document ERM(13)50_062 and approved the revised LS with minor changes document ERM(13)50_062r1 for transmission (Decision 50.60). The LS was sent on 27 June 2013.

Mr. Donachie was pleased to see that there is a cooperation with the wireless industrial automation community. TC ERM agreed with him.

It was asked what would happen with prEN/IEC 62657-2, which is under parallel final voting in IEC and CENELEC as 65C/736/FDIS, with vote terminating on 2013-07-19. This issue was discussed at OCG R&TTE#54; see the minutes of that meeting. It is not a Hamonized Standard, but is intended to be an EN.

TG17 10.8 Hearing aids ERM(13)50_006

Mr. Brian Copsey, Chairman of ERM-TG17, joined via GoToMeeting and presented the general report of TG17 in document ERM(13)50_006, and TC ERM reviewed it.

Mr. Ernst Frank had resigned as Secretary to WP3 due to changes in his job responsibilities. WP3 wished to thank Mr. Frank Ernst for his extensive and effective work as WP3 Secretary over recent years and wished him well in his new responsibilities which are further up the spectrum range (70 GHz)

Mr. Wolfgang Blitz of Shure has agreed to take over as WP3 Secretary and has extensive experience over many years in the PMSE sector.

Mr. Butscheidt suggested merging all of TG17 into one group instead of having WPs in it. Mr. van Maanen supported Mr. Butscheidt.

Mr. Copsey preferred not to do this since WP1 and WP2 are much different from WP3.

Mr. Brian Copsey, Chairman of ERM-TG17, joined via GoToMeeting and presented the general report of TG17 in document ERM(13)50_006, and TC ERM reviewed it.

Mr. Copsey noted in his report,“Members of TG 17 have attended the following ITU meetings and the various draft documents are available, please contact BC@copsey-comms.com, they will bet been placed in the TG17WP3 docbox when final versions are published by ITU.

At the plenary meeting of WP2 it was decided to combine all LS on the ALD issues with a single response, due to the complex LS situation that has developed between, 5A, 5C, SG 16 ETSI etc. It is therefore recommended that no responses are sent to the various LS received by ETSI on this subject. TG 17 will be kept informed of future progress and Mr Copsey will be attending the next meetings.”

TC ERM agreed with the proposal to not send a response LS, and appropriate action points were created. See the agenda items 1.5.3 and 1.5.6.

Informal discussion have taken place on the update for both ALD and PMSE but the “shifting sands” created by the current CEPT work and Recommendations along with the STF 386 work is making it difficult to produce a relevant document. Further WP3 meetings will be scheduled for the autumn when it is hoped that the CEPT work will be finalised. TG17 will take the results into account.

Commission has not completed its assessment of this standard and whether it should be cited in the OJEU.

CENELEC TC 210 WG 11 has started work to develop EN 50561-2 for access PLC transmission equipment and is expected to complete this task by the end of 2013. The WG is in the early phase of developing Part 3 of this series to deal with PLC equipment using frequencies above 30 MHz. The use of frequencies will be limited to below 85 MHz approximately.

The use of PLC above 30 MHz is controversial.

ETSI members were reminded of the importance of these standards and the need to participate in WG11 in order to influence the outcome of the work.

With respect to EN 50561-2, it was noted that PLT access equipment is under the control of an operator.

Mr. Chadwick referred to Gfast in document ERM(13)50_028; see also agenda item 1.5.2. Mr. Storrs said that the problem is PLC systems into Gfast; there are potential interference problems.

Mr. Palkovich referred to photovoltaic inverter discussions in CENELEC. He asked about the interation between PLC and the photovoltaic groups. Mr. Storrs had no information on this.

Mr. Kermoal noted the status of PLC standards. A WG FM/SE JWG on PLT transmission led by Mr. Ollivier has been closed.

TC ERM noted the information in document ERM(13)50_003r1.

ERM EMC requested the approval of the NWIP to develop a TR with a comprehensive analysis of the technical differences between EN 300 386 and CISPR 35 and proposals for such changes as may be needed to EN 55035 and EN 300 386 in order to optimise the transitional and long-term coexistence of these standards. The NWI was presented in document ERM(13)50_047r1.

Mr. de Brito asked for clarifications on CISPR 35: big equipment (EN 300 386) versus small equipment.

Mr. Storrs clarified that CISPR 35 would replace CISPR 20 and 24. Size no longer matters.

Mr. Barck would like to see the initial analysis from Mr. Gorini. He was referred to document 8 of ERM EMC meeting 39.

In the long term, a better cooperation for IEC may be needed. The initial work will be internal ETSI.

TC ERM adopted the NWI for TR in the document ERM(13)50_047r1 (Decision 50.63)
